漫画家通常将动物描绘成有着大眼睛的可爱形象,不过这种做法只不过是艺术化的再加工而已。依据最新研究,鸟类以及其他脊椎动物的眼睛并不像艺术家作品中的那样“大”,而是与身体大小有着严格的比例,并且这种比例与其进化、生存密切相关。科研人员认为,眼睛与身体的基本关系能反映每个物种是如何适应、利用自己所在的生存环境 Cartoonists often portray animals as cute images with large eyes, but this approach is merely an artistic reprocessing. According to the latest research, the eyes of birds and other vertebrates are not as “large” as in the artist’s works, but are strictly proportional to the size of the body, and this ratio is closely related to its evolution and survival. Researchers believe that the basic relationship between the eyes and the body can reflect how each species adapts and uses its own living environment.
